I went on this same quest a couple of years ago. All the less expensive ones I looked at seemed to fit ok but the actions were either difficult to opperate of sloopy as all get out. I ended up getting a great deal on a Ruger red label stainless on closeout. I'm glad I went with that. I know it is more money but the enjoyment, fit, and function of a good O/U will more than pay for it's self.

I seen one of those Milano's @ our Ruffed Grouse Banquet and was very impressed. It was a 28 Ga. I bought several tickets trying to win it, but failed to bring it home.

Mossberg has some very affordable over and unders you should look at.
They claim they took one to Argentina and shot a train car load of ammo through it with out any problems.
I know you can't beleive every thing you read, they are a good looking over and under though.
Here's what they look like...A.H



These come in 410ga. 20ga. 28ga. and 12ga. Go to there site and take a look see.

That is a good looking gun. Looks like my Silver Pigeon II Beretta. The Milano has a similar appearance.

Kolar Dan that over and under I have pictured List for $ 754.18 so you prolly can buy it for $ 550 dollars if you shop.
Mossberg's list prices start at $618.00 to $754.18 for several models.
